Gio Reyna pleased with landmark goal in Germany ahead of US World Cup team selection

DUESSELDORF: (May 13) Gio Reyna says he’s happy to score a goal which ended a year-long scoreless run as he tries to make his case for a spot on the United States’ roster for the World Cup.

Reyna scored on a first-time shot off a pass from Rocco Reitz in his team Borussia Moenchengladbach’s 3-1 loss to Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday. It was the American attacking midfielder’s first club goal since January 2025, when he was still at Borussia Dortmund.

“It’s been a little while but in the end I’m just happy to score,” Reyna told reporters Tuesday. “In the end it didn’t matter too much but more than that it was good to get a good chunk of minutes and I felt like I had a pretty good performance overall.”
